The Camp Meeting Commemorate Wet
Day Yesterday,

Day Yesterday,
PLAINVILLE, Aug. 22.-The Methodist camp
nesting began to-day. It rained hard and
consequently there did not come the number
that was expected. The rain began to fall
soon after O'Clock q. m. It came in tor
rents.
Many people were on the grounds last
week. The work was not left to just before
the camp was to open, but work was carried
on 80 vigorously that by Saturday night the
private and most of the society tents were
up. The seats, which have to be stored after
each meeting, were in place. The boarding
house tent was all in readiness for business.
The auditorium presents alovely appearance,
for the trees, old in age and shaped almost
artistically, as if by hand, make beautiful
ground. There are 'busses at the camp sta
ton which take people to the ground for ten
cents. good many stayed on the grounds
Saturday night. They wanted to have SER
vices yesterday, but no preacher was present.
1t was finally decided to have a love feast.
Mr.. Smith. the president, was the one who
conducted the exercises. The meeting lasted
one hour. 1t was intended at first that re-
cess be taken after the meeting had been held
an hour, but the meeting was 30 interesting
that it was universally concluded to keep on
for two hours and have no recess. About one
hundred and fifty were in attendance.
The afternoon meeting was presided over
by Benjamin P Ray, who is member of
the Meriden praying band. He was assisted
by several members of this band. This
meeting was largely attended. The day
came to close after a meeting at Z o'clock
in the evening conducted by Rev. Allen
Clark, of Pennington, and all agreed that
the day had been delightfully."- spent and that
the day had been all that could be desired
for their meetings.
To days turn of the weather was a sore
disappointment. 1t began to clear up by
noon. The first sermon of the meeting was
delivered by Rev. E. L. Bray, of Southing-
ton. 1t was an able and intensely interest
ing effort. There are not the number pres
ent which would be here if it had not rained
to day, but nevertheless an extraordinarily
mainder of the camp.

And Every Species of Itching
and Burning Diseases Cured
by CutfCura.

It affords me pleasure to give YOU this report Of
the cure of our little grandchd by your CUTICURA
REMEDIES. When six months old his left hand be-
gan to swell and had every appearance Of q large
boil We poulticed it, but all to no purpose. About
five months after it became running sore. Soon
other sores formed He then had two of them on
each hand and as his blood became more and more
impure it took less time for them to break out. A
sore came the chin, beneath the under lip which
was very offensive. His head solid scab,
discharging great deal This was his condition at
twenty two months old when undertook the care
Of him, his mother having died when he was little
more than year old OF consumption (scrofulas OF
course). He could walk little, but could not get
up If he fell down and could not move when in bed,
having no use of his hands. I Immediately COM
menced with the Cuticura Remedies, using the
Cuticura and Cuticura Soap freely, and when he had
taken bottle of the Cuticura Resovent, his head
was completely cured and he was improved in every
tnued the of the Remedies for year and
half. One sore after another healed a bonY matter
forming in each of these five deep ones just be-
fore healing which would finally grow loose and
were taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One
of these ugly bone formations l preserved. After
taking dozen and a half bottles he was complete
ly cured, and is now, at the age of six years,
strong and healthy child. The scars on his hands
must always remain; his hands are strong, though
once feared he would never be able to use them.
All that physicians did for him did him no good. All
who saw the child before using the Cuticura Reme-
dies and see the child now consider it wonderful

a Bloody Riot in which Three Hun.
dred Miners Engage,

dred Miners Engage.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. pa fearful
riot took place yesterday at Glen Lyon, five
miles from Nantieoke, in which three hum
dred miners, men and women, engaged. The
combatants were composed of men of various
nationalities, Irish, Welsh, Hungarians and
Poles being largely represented. Sixty per-
sons were seriously hurt, some of them
probably fatally. Strangely enough the oc-
currence was started - by Methodist
preacher named Taggart. It has been the
custom of several Hungarian and Polish met
chants to send peddlers to Glen Lyon daily
to supply certain boarding houses. The lat
ter in many instances are hired by young I'M
married men who club and live together.
They order goods of the peddlers who trust
them. The Susquehanna Coal company has
always selected Saturday for pay day. Here-
tofore it has been their practice to pay at
Nanticoke. This time, however, they paid
the men at Glen Lyon, or Morganstown, on
Sunday, the day chosen by the mer-
chants to make their collections.
Rev. Mr.. TaRgart, of Glen Lyon, has fire.
quently preached against this dissertation OF
the Sabbath and finally determined to put
stop to it if possible. Yesterday he organ
lied posse of his church members for that
purpose. The men got wind of it and made
mp their minds to resist anything of the kind.
The collectors made their appearance and the
natural excitement of the moment was aug
mented by universal indulgence In beer
and whisky. AS the day advanced the
churchmen became alarmed at the situation
and kept themselves in hiding. The feeling
Of antagonism was 30 intense, however. that
1t finally eliminated in free fight between
men of opposite nationalities maddened with
drink. Soon three hundred persons, includ- |
ing some women, were furiously engaged |
With sticks, stones and clubs for weapons.
The riot lasted half an hour and men were
struck down on all sides. Dozens were car
led away with cracked and bleeding heads |
% their homes. A few women were badly |
beaten. The riot ceased only when the riot |
RS were too few to carry It on. To-day it is
exported that over sixty Of the rioters are
eriously hurt, many of them fatally. An in /

A BAIT FOR MIR. CHAMBERLAIN.
The Tories VIII FRY to Hold k1ina to
Their Policy.

LONDON, Aug. 22-The division on the
proclamation of the league has now been
fixed for Friday next, before which time the
government will make further explanation
with view of retaining the support of Mr..
Chamberlain, or at least to induce him to
abstain from the debate instead of opposing
the government. The Conservatives are
hopeful of obtaining majority of so to 80.
If the Parnellites obstruct the passage of the
supply bill to any great extent it is rumored
that Mr.. Smith will endeavor to pass the
votes en- masse by application of the cloture
rule. The government fixes September 5 for
the close of the committee on supply. Par
lament will be prorogued on September 10.
A notice has been placed on the order book
in Mr.. Gladstone's name to make an address
against the proclamation of the league.
The Gladstonians will hold a conference in
the House of Commons on Thursday to make
arrangements to support the Parnellites.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In the Register of Aug. 16, appeared a
communication headed, "More crossings on
the Green" and signed Many Citizens.
Taking it in connection with other reports al
most made me laugh. More walks on the Green
when some have been discontinued, and more
ought to be. The honored Mayor in favor
of it when he is an 'obstructionist" to an
order already passed and money appropriate
ed for long, long talked of improvement,
viz: A pavement in Temple street, from
Chapel to Elm streets, that will be a delight
to all citizens, and be all the cross walks that
will be had in century. Such are the ideas

District Assembly FOrty.Nine Elects
Delegates Unfriendly to POwderly.
NEW York, Aug. 22.-The election in dis
trict assembly No. 40, K. of l., last night re-
suited after a long and bitter struggle in a
victory for the anti-Powderly faction. Master
Workman J. E. Quinn was the only member
of the Home club elected to the national con-
vention. There were seven hundred votes
cast, and considerable scolding was INDUCED
in. Forty candidates ran. Those elected are
as follows: Master Workman Quinn, Paul
Mayer, of the clothing cutters; w. Breslin,
electricians; G. j. Purcell statesmen; E. E.
Kunz, secretary of the district; w. N. Reed,
wiremakers; D. ]. Noughton, statesmen; JAS
P. Archibald, paper hangers; James J. Daily,
tile layers; Philip McGrath, machinists, and
George w. Dunn of the statesmen. One OF
the prominent representatives of the victo-
rious faction said: ftThe opposition to the
administration and to Mr.. Powderly is not
based on any fault we have to find with
Powderly himself. We think that he has
been in Office long enough. The tendency
seems to be to keep a crowd around him
which makes its whole object to keep Mr..
Powderly in Office. Those offices which are
in the gift of the official head of the order go
to such men, and besides this it is we'll
known that Mr.. Powderly is easily Influenced
by those about him and is always ready to
take advice, and the influence that surrounds
him is undoubtedly bad" The anti-Powderly
men talk confidently of defeating Mr.. Pow
der!y at the Minneapolis convention.
